Smartphone Information

Smartphone (iPhone, Android, Blackberry) setup informationAs smartphones are becoming more common, we are finding there has been an increase in the number of requests to give employees the information they need to setup their smartphone to receive work email. While we cannot begin to support every phone on the market or give step by step directions for each type of phone, we can provide our staff with the information needed to setup a smartphone. Our email system only supports Exchange Activesync/OWA, we do not support POP3 or IMAP email. Most smartphones allow you to setup Exchange email on them, but Blackberry requires you to login into the wireless carrier's Blackberry website to setup Exchange email. Please contact your wireless carrier's support line for help setting up the email or consult the phone's manual.

Instructional Focus

Our school wide focus is to have Midland Street School students show measurable growth in their ability to read and write with understanding at grade level and be math fact fluent by grade 3. This will be achieved through the use of a common set of school wide instructional strategies in reading, writing and mathematics as measured by formative and summative assessments.
